Best Intel Core Processor

These are the Core Ultra 3 chips

The non-X Intel Core Ultra 9 386H has a slightly lower max P-core frequency at 4.9 GHz, although thanks to its weedy four Xe-core iGPU, it's got eight more PCIe lanes to play with—which will mean it's better suited to laptops with discrete GPUs, at least for gaming purposes.
